May Day Picnic
PARKS & GREENWAYS
The Town has five distinctive parks and one plaza, each offering different amenities. All have restroom facilities and three have picnic pavilions that can be reserved by contacting the Parks & Recreation Department at 865-218-3375 or here. Photos of each pavilion are here.
Farragut boasts over 25 segments of greenway trails, totaling approximately 16 miles, that connect neighborhoods and provide great places to ride a bike, walk, run and roller blade. Public parking is available at the Town's four longest trails. Find more info about greenways below.
Farragut's newest public space is Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza, which was completed in November 2020. Located behind the historic Campbell Station Inn at 11409 Kingston Pike, the plaza features a restroom, park-like open areas, new landscaping, benches, interpretive signage and parking. The outdoor space is available for rent; an application is available here.
The plaza is named in memory of Mayor McGill, who was one of the Town's founding fathers and was instrumental in the vote for incorporation in late 1979. He served as Mayor from April 2009 through June 2018, and was heavily involved in the Town's acquisition of the Campbell Station Inn from the Russell family.
